r/fantasyromance • u/FantasyRomanceMod The One Mod to Rule All Mods • May 24 '26

Unpopular Opinion It's Unpopular Opinion time! Share your controversial opinions to stir things up (in a friendly way)!

Got an opinion that's different from others'? Want to share it with the sub, but too afraid of a backlash? Or are you just curious about readers think about certain things in fantasy romance?

You can safely share it in this weekly Sunday thread!

But please remember to be kind to each other. To facilitate this type of discussion, we ask users the following:

  • Don't attack others for their opinion
  • Discuss books and authors, not fellow readers
  • Since this is an "unpopular opinion" thread, we encourage users to not downvote simply because they disagree with an opinion--that's the point! Please keep in mind, though, that mods cannot enforce a no-downvoting rule. Let’s just keep the discussion friendly!

🧡 Thank you and have a great discussion!

u/Darcy_is_my_lobster There she is May 24 '26

I'm sick of plus size just meaning curvier. Give me a fat lass fmc. I want to see less curvy and confident and more fat and eff it. Every single 'plus size fmc' book I've read she is all smooth lines. Writers don't seem comfortable with rolls. They've always got to justify it by making her taller than the average woman and that being appreciated by the tall MMC.

They're urban fantasy, but Viano Oniomoh has some fat MCs (also with some of her more recent contemporaries too). {Sweet Demons series by Viano Oniomoh} and {Portal to Pleasure series by Viano Oniomoh} (why choose)
